Why You Need To Be Online These Days
Having a presence
online is a must today. Plain and simple! And there are
lots of reasons why. Below are the top 5.
1. To Reach New Customers
Millions of people in CT have access to the Internet, and
thousands and thousands right in your local area. These are all
potential customers with purchasing power! They can't find you
if your not there. Where else but on the Internet can a customer
access you from down the street or across town, any time of day, any
day with just click of the mouse.
2. To Network
A lot of what passes for business is simply nothing more than
making connections with other people. Every smart businessperson
knows, it's not what you know but who you know. The Internet allows
you to network 24/7/365
3. To Provide Information
What are your hours? What is on your menu? Do you have a wine
list? Is your restaurant kid-friendly? Do you accept
reservations? Do you cater? What are your hours?
What methods of payment do you accept? Where are you
located? All of this and more are what your potential
customers want to know.
4. To Provide 24 Hour Customer Service
With a web site you can serve your customers 24 hours a day,
seven days a week and 365 days a year. And all of this with no
overtime. You can customize information to match needs and collect
important information that will put you ahead of your competition.
5. To Gain Customer Feedback
On the Internet you can ask for feedback and get it immediately.
This shows your customers and potential customers that you care
about how you and your staff treat your customers and that you care
about the food you serve and how it meets or doesn't meet your
customers' standards . An instant e-mail response can be
built into Web pages and can get the answer while it's still fresh
in your customer's mind. You will receive results without the cost
and lack of response of business reply mail.
This is a great opportunity
for Restaurant Marketing and economically priced!
FindCTrestaurants.com has taken ads in the Record Journal and several of
it's local newspapers (ex: Southington Citizen), and will be advertising a
one stop website for CT Dining, including local restaurant coupons and
restaurant reviews.
We are currently piloting
this program in the following markets only - Meriden, Southington, Cheshire
and Wallingford. By the end of 2005 we will be in most major markets
throughout CT.
The concept is simple! On
our home page, you will
notice that we have a very easy to fill in form asking for email addresses.
Those who provide the email address will receive two emails a month with
local reviews and local restaurant coupons. These are what we call Opt-In
email addresses. This means that individuals have asked to be emailed the
information we will be emailing them.
At least once a month, email
subscribers will receive their coupon-filled email. We will also email out
campaigns for all restaurant related holidays - Easter, St. Patrick's Day,
Valentines Day, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, Father's Day and more.
As part of this service, each
client will get a dedicated web page for their restaurant, showcasing their
restaurant. Click on a Sponsor
Restaurant from the dropdown menu off our home page to see what this
includes.
Fees are very reasonable.
